This is the fourth in a monthly series of a new feature called His Lens/My Pen, a collaboration with my husband. He’s the one with the camera; I’m the one with the pen as it were. Ergo His Lens/My Pen.

Last month’s image was a slight deviation from the norm, in that it was my pen and lens. But now we’re back on theme with this photograph of a stand of bamboo we came across in California. Something about how Martin caught the sunlight catches my breath every time I see this shot. I hope your breath catches, too.  When has light broken through the darkness for you? If you missed the first two in the His Lens/My Pen series, click through for some gulls in Santa Monica and for a duck swimming in a shimmering pond

Have a friend or loved one who needs a bit of light breaking through a personal darkness? Send them a note of encouragement. The image Within a Bamboo Forest is available as a greeting card at my Etsy shop — TheInfinitePeacock. Come check it out.

Please feel free to share this with your friends, families, followers. And of course, Facebook, by clicking the blue “f” icon. Stay tuned for next month’s offering from His Lens/My Pen.
